Lineup to come

[ashie62]

Nimmo 8

Marte 9

Lindor 6

Alonso 3

Vogelbach DH

Pham 7

McNeil 4

Baty 5

Narvaez 2



Carrasco 1

[Edgy MD]

Free Mark Canha!

[ashie62]

Carrasco was very good the last time he faced the Phillies

[Edgy MD]

Carrasco's https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/gl.fcgi?id=carraca01&t=p&year=2023game log this season shows that the games in which he's had the best bottom line are the games in which he gives up the most line drives. His games with the poorer bottom line have had fewer line drive.



I don't know if that means he's been really lucky in his good games or really unlucky in his bad ones. Or maybe neither.

[ashie62]

That intro of optimistic 1962 Mets fans was nice to see again



Starting on time

Give the Phillies one irons

[ashie62]

Run Marte

[Edgy MD]

I was thinking that wasn't a good time to use the challenge, with a low leverage two-out-at-first-base call.



But hey! They won!

[ashie62]

Calling that "conclusive" evidence to overturn that tag is a stretch

[ashie62]

Was that a line drive

[ashie62]

Back to the buffet Vogie

[Edgy MD]

I'm Marte's hand, and I'm pissed.

[ashie62]

Marte is hit on the hand



To my eye hitters are set up more on the inside of the box than of yore

[Edgy MD]

Should have squeezed, Lindor.

[Edgy MD]

I'll take the two-run bloop, though.

[ashie62]

Too much competition for DH at bats for Vogelbach to keep failing

[ashie62]

Always an adventure with Marte. His rep says otherwise but...

[Edgy MD]

Playing back with a go-ahead run on third.



And Harper walks to load the bags with Realmuto.



That's a tough call to make.

[ashie62]

Tough tough spot

[Edgy MD]

Chase-a-muto.

[Edgy MD]

Good escapism.

[ashie62]

Narvaez gets on base and back to leadoff



And it works

[Edgy MD]

Running up Wheeler's pitch count AND scoring the go-ahead against him.



Win-win.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Narvaez doesn't suck

[Edgy MD]

Nice to see Carrasco get the hard stuff past Schwarber.

[Edgy MD]

Hey! I missed a homer during a commercial break! Mets up by 4-2! Yesterday's score!

[Edgy MD]

Carrasco yanked after four, man.
